Episode synopsis

On this week’s Stick to Football Gary Neville, Roy Keane, Ian Wright, Jamie Carragher and Jill Scott are joined by legendary defender Des Walker. We take it right back to the start of his career, breaking through at Nottingham Forest, becoming a fan favourite with his speed and fearless defending. Des talks about life in that dressing room and shares stories from unforgettable nights out with teammates including one with Roy Keane. We also revisit his time on the biggest stage, pulling on the Three Lions shirt. Des recalls what it was like to face some of the best players to ever play the game, from Diego Maradona to Marco van Basten, and reflects on the highs and challenges of representing his country. Alongside his England career, we look back at his club journey, from Forest to his spell in Italy, to being at the heart of the defence for Sheffield Wednesday, where he built a lasting connection with the fans.
